| Benefits to Participating Institutions |
-
Participating institutions can develop their own procedure for conducting a
facilitated review, as long as the procedure remains within the parameters of
the Division of Responsibilities document.
-
The IRB chair alone or a subcommittee of the full Board can carry out the local
review without convening the full Board.
-
IRB staff will not have to distribute multiple sets of documents, obtain
primary reviewers' reviews from Local IRB Members (the documents will be on
this website), negotiate changes with the investigator, or manage the
consequences of deferring or tabling studies.
-
If the person(s) conducting the facilitated review concludes that there are no
concerns about local context and accepts the CIRB review, the CIRB becomes the
IRB of record for that study and will be responsible for reviewing subsequent
amendments, continuing reviews and serious adverse events.
-
Should the local IRB wish to discuss a study in full convened session, it can
still use the CIRB review materials as a resource.
